Region: Willamette Valley, OR
Varietal(s): Chardonnay
‘Le Combe Verte’ or 'the green valley' pays homage to Patty Green who let them make their first vintage in her winery. In 2008, Erica Landon and Ken Pahlow, launched their dream in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. ‘Walter’ was Ken’s granfather and ‘Scott’ was Ken’s nephew.
Toasty and a little reductive on the nose, this Chardonnay opens up nicely in the glass with aromas and flavors of lemon meringue, white peach and green apple.
